In response to below By definition it is impossible for a third harmonic to create more than two peaks per half cycle and if the distortion is only third harmonic then the peaks can never be separated by more than 45 deg. Even more confusion is created from the ambiguity of the statement which fails to state whether the lag is relating to the voltage or current waveform. a typical example of how not to inform and how to confuse.
